September is Healthy Aging Month, a national observance dedicated to celebrating the positive aspects of growing older and encouraging people to take charge of their health and wellness. At CiminoCare, we see this as an opportunity to highlight the many ways our senior living communities support residents in living meaningful, engaged lives. We focus on strengths, connection, and vitality—never defining anyone solely by a diagnosis.
Healthy aging means taking a proactive approach to physical health, mental wellness, and social connection—the foundations of a fulfilling life.
A Word from Our CEO
“Too often, people see assisted living as simply a place to receive care. At CiminoCare, we define care as community—helping residents continue to live fully by staying engaged, eating well, and enjoying the company of others. Aging does not have to mean decline.”
— Mark Cimino, CEO, CiminoCare
Prioritizing Proper Nutrition
Did you know that eating meals in community promotes healthier habits and emotional well-being? Good nutrition is the foundation of healthy aging for seniors. Our culinary teams prepare fresh, balanced meals that support energy, strength, and immune function. We make dining enjoyable and social, while also accommodating special dietary needs, so every resident can eat with confidence and pleasure.
Encouraging Movement and Activity
Staying active is one of the most effective ways to support independence in senior living. CiminoCare offers a variety of programs that encourage movement at every ability level—from group exercise classes and walking clubs to chair yoga and stretching sessions. These activities improve balance, flexibility, and strength while boosting mood and mental clarity.
Creating Social Connections and Fostering Creativity
Social connection is essential to senior wellness, and Healthy Aging Month is a reminder of the power of community. Our vibrant activity calendars are filled with opportunities for residents to connect and thrive—game nights, art workshops, music sessions, and educational programs keep minds sharp and spirits high. Creative outlets inspire joy while fostering purpose and belonging.
Coordinating Healthcare and Support
Healthy aging also means having the right support systems in place. CiminoCare provides healthcare coordination and personal care services to make daily life easier. From medication management and wellness checks to scheduling doctor visits and facilitating communication with healthcare providers, we give residents and families peace of mind.
Celebrating Healthy Aging Every Day
While Healthy Aging Month takes place in September, at CiminoCare, we embrace life enrichment in assisted living year-round. By focusing on nutrition, activity, social engagement, creativity, and healthcare support, we help residents experience each stage of life with confidence, compassion, and joy.
